Springhelper : Helper
The Reactor dynamics system has been retired and REMOVED from 3ds Max 2012.
| Value > MAXWrapper > Node > Helper > reactor > Springhelper |
The Springhelper allows you to create a spring between two rigid bodies in the simulation, or between a rigid body and a point in space. During the simulation, the spring will exert forces on the attached bodies in an attempt to maintain its rest length.
When set to true, the Parent rigid body will be considered by the simulation.
Get/Set the strength of the spring that governs the force the spring will apply to each attached body for each unit difference between its current length and its rest length.
Get/Set the length the spring will attempt to reach by applying forces on the attached objects.
When set to true, the spring will apply forces on the attached objects when its length is less than its Rest Length. It defaults to true.
When set to true, the spring will apply forces on the attached objects when its length is greater than its Rest Length. It defaults to true.
When set to true, the spring is not be considered by the simulation.
When set to true, the relative transform between the child and parent constraint spaces is locked - if you move the child space in the viewport, the parent space will move with it, and vice-versa.

When set to true , the Parent rigid body will be considered by the simulation.
Get/Set the parent's transformation matrix
Get/Set the child's transformation matrix
When set to true , the relative transform between the child and parent constraint spaces is locked - if you move the child space in the viewport, the parent space will move with it, and vice-versa.

When set to true, the spring will apply forces on the attached objects when its length is less than its Rest Length. It defaults to true.

When set to true, the spring is not be considered by the simulation.
Get/Set the length the spring will attempt to reach by applying forces on the attached objects.
Returns true if the Spring is a valid constraint. A two-bodied spring is valid if it has two rigid bodies attached, a single-bodied spring is valid if it has one rigid body attached.
